Hello | Hola | Buon giorno 👋

Known as YGR, The Rubenator, Ciroc Obama &, more formally, Ruben Andres Ramirez.

I was born and raised in Stockton, CA, went to school in the Northern Bay Area, studied abroad in Milano, Italia, and then moved to Barcelona, Spain, to get more sunshine. Best 2 years of my life.  Now I am back in my hometown saving up some $$$ while working, learning, and building. I am currently a consultant at Simform, providing tech companies with awesome full-stack engineering. I am also a Full-Stack Engineering Student at Lambda School. 

Since money rules the world (fortunately or unfortunately depending on your perspective), I am passionate about financial literacy & democratizing finances. 

I'm a man of routine and discipline (i promise I'm not a hardo). 5:00 AM workouts, 36 hour fasting, meditation, daily journaling and, coding. I'm always up for trying the latest technologies and drinking ice-cold sparkling water. Strong believer that there aren't enough Latinx in American culture so trying to change that within music and tech.
